How to make text tracing animation?
You can try to use offset (bevel, extrude area ...) or to look for a font similar that does it, but I think the result will have to be edited a lot anyway for direction, points etc.

If you want to use this as paint/mask for a writing effect, I would do it this way:


grease pencil, manual place the strokes in order and direction that is convenient. (I doubt that you can actually get that too out of a font/offset)


I think is the most controllable way.. and grease pencil is kinda made for animated strokes


I use poly for convenience, may further use convert/bezier or so, you'll have to test your way
convert to curve with lots of options
use curve with options, with dyna paint or use it with addons (btrace, animation nodes etc) to generate your Alpha/mask...
if the text is very, very long (many lines) may want to make these into a blender font and then convert again to curves. But the process is worth only if you will use this template many times, for lot of text, imho.


An example. Note that for tracing, my path is not quite following your proposal, but more the way the paint will go.



PS: I post this as per comment where you say you use it to trace the text. Maybe that should be in the question too.
